Lapis Crushed Eye Shadow

Facts about Lapis Lazuli

Lapis evokes an age of opulence and wealth. The ancient Egyptians were in love with lapis lazuli. They crafted pendants and beads from it, and it is featured on Tutankhamen’s iconic death mask. Cleopatra and other ancients used crushed lapis stones as make-up material.
